About me
My name is Jo Booler CDHP Dip.NLP Dip.CBT Dip,PT L3 BI. Dip.AF. CNHC.reg
I developed LIFE.clinical hypnotherapy to help people like you control their anxieties and fears, manage their weight, deal with trauma, rebalance their relationship with alcohol and be free to live their lives better, forever.
I have encountered so many people who are struggling in life due to deep rooted beliefs, perhaps learnt in childhood, coping strategies that are no longer helpful, who are not living their full lives. I was one of them for many years .
Healing begins with a holistic approach. I combine the use of Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT, nutrition , movement and Breathwork, tailored to the individual needs of each client, to help uncover the deep-rooted problems that have been holding you back, and transform your life for good .
I specialize in trauma work, anxiety, weight and body related issues,compulsive behaviours and alcohol-free coaching.
Let me help you take the first step towards a happier and healthier life.
Throughout my adult life I've had problems with uncontrolled anger, which has put severe strain on my relationships with family and friends. With Jo's help and just a few sessions of hypnotherapy, I have largely conquered my propensity to anger quickly. I'm more relaxed and even-tempered, and laugh at my previous behaviour, and as a result, the people around me are happier and feel more secure too.
"I was probably sceptical about hypnotherapy previously, but after meeting Jo and learning about the positive effects hypnotherapy can have I was keen to try. I went to Jo for weight management after many years of yo-yo dieting Jo has taught me that food shouldn't be a reward, a treat or seen as a ‘naughty’ and during the hypnotherapy sessions she has reprogrammed my relationship with food. I'm currently halfway through the weight management program and I'm finding that I'm craving less and less ,I'm drinking less alcohol and I have the motivation to exercise every day. I'm keen to see where this journey takes me but I know with Jo support I'll definitely succeed. Jo is empathetic, supportive, warm, caring and accepting and has an absolutely catalog of knowledge to support why she does what she does.
I have already recommended her to practically everyone I meet!"

“I had been suffering from Anxiety for quite a few years . I had tried to get help over the years but didn't find anything really helped until I found Jo.
I have learnt so much about my anxiety and Jo has given me so many tools to use . I now feel so much calmer day to day. My husband says I am a different person and I feel confident to start expanding my life .

One on one clinical hypnotherapy sessions are designed to help you overcome what is holding you back in life. Whether that is fears, phobias, poor self esteem, anxiety, pain management , public speaking, or your relationship with alcohol, I can help .
We can then plan your treatment. We are all unique and the combination of therapy will be specific to your individual needs.

All hypnotherapy treatments will require an initial consultation session, so please book that on my Treatments page.

It's Not a Diet is a five-week programme, which includes a consultation session. This is one of my most popular programmes as we are bombarded with so much conflicting advice.

I use a combination of Hypnotherapy and nutrition techniques including, if appropriate, the Virtual Gastric Band. The Virtual Gastric Band has an amazing 95% success rate. This programme will be specific to your individual needs.
No more cravings or will power necessary - get happy and healthy for good.

Trauma & PTSD Hypnotherapy
This is a subject that I am very passionate about.
Trauma and PTSD issues respond really well to Rewind Therapy.
This is usually a course of three sessions, plus a consultation.
Rewind Therapy is particularly effective with cases of trauma as it allows the brain to timestamp the event(s) and free you from real time fight or flight response. Trauma can be caused by a single traumatic event or a series of many smaller events disrupting the way the brain stores these memories. I will work with you to regulate and timestamp your memories. The beauty of this treatment is that you do not need to reveal to me what these experiences involve in detail if you do not wish to. In any case, full client confidentiality is always adhered to.
Book a Consultation
All new clients will require an initial consultation so that we can discuss and plan the best cause of action for you. I will be given a good idea of how many sessions will be needed for your treatment and how you wish to plan them.
This session is 45 min long.
​
Meditation
to ease anxiety
This is a downloadable meditation for you to use regularly.
It incorporates a little breathwork exercise to prompt a physical release and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Please feel free to try this whenever you need.
Frequently asked questions
Please feel free to drop me a message with any questions you may have, but here are some frequently asked ones that I hope will help.
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses the power of suggestion to encourage positive change. A hypnotherapist will use relaxation techniques to help you reach a state where the conscious part of your mind is relaxed and your subconscious part is more open to suggestion. They will then use suggestive techniques (where they ‘talk’ to your subconscious) to help encourage the change you’re looking for.
What is the initial consultation and assessment for?
The initial session is an integral part of your therapy and serves a number of purposes. It provides the opportunity for you to describe the challenges you are currently facing, and for me to ask you questions. I will explain how the brain works; the relationship between our conscious and subconscious mind and provide you with a clear understanding of the origin of our thoughts, habits and behaviours. I will also explain what hypnotherapy is (and is not!) and how I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming into your tailored sessions where appropriate.
During the initial consultation we will agree what goals we should work towards and put together a plan of action to help you to achieve them.
No hypnosis treatment will take place during the initial consultation.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy is especially helpful for habit breaking, stress-related issues and for a range of long-term conditions. In recent years the approach has gained momentum in the medical world after a recommendation from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, which recognised hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome.
Can hypnosis get rid of anxiety?
Yes, there is a lot of evidence that hypnosis can help many anxiety disorders. For example, fears and phobias, habits that relate to anxiety, driving nerves, sports performance and generalised anxiety disorder and panic.
For example,
A study by Saadat et al (2006), showed that hypnosis can reduce preoperative anxiety.
In 2019, Valentine et al produced a meta-analysis and found that hypnosis was effective in reducing anxiety for an average of 79% compared to a control group.
Will I lose control?
You will remain completely in control the entire time. Your sensibilities are fully intact and you will automatically reject any suggestion that is inconsistent with your personal values, best interests and better judgement. You can easily resist any suggestion at any time, you will only respond to those suggestions that you find helpful in achieving the results you desire.
Will I know what is going on?
Yes. As hypnosis is a focus it can actually heighten our senses and awareness, and you will be in control at all times.
